Mextiacan

Mextiacan was a Tecuexe community in the highlands north of Guadalajara. Before the Spanish conquest it formed a local lordship among a number of settlements in the region. Cristóbal de Oñate, acting for Nuño de Guzmán, brought it under Spanish rule in 1530. By the end of the sixteenth century Mexticacán appeared among the communities paying tribute to the Crown in the district of Cuquío.
